I want a cat SO BADLY, but I doubt my two labs would agree. heheh



We have cared for ~20 Golden Retreivers over the past five years as a foster family with a Golden Retriever rescue group. I can only think of one dog that was hostile toward our 3 cats – and she had deeper problems that we weren’t aware of. Many of the dogs are curious and want to sniff the cats and the cats will tolerate it for a few seconds. If the dogs approach too quickly or roughly however, the cats can freeze them in their tracks with just a look. It’s so funny to watch an 80-pound dog back off from an 8-pound cat’s hiss.

MOWC – I hope you can get answers quickly. I am all-too-familiar with pet illness and death and it still tears me up.
